Determined not to let the media stick him with the hard questions while lobbing softballs at his liberal opponents, Rand Paul threw a question back to one reporter Wednesday who was pressing him on the issue of abortion.

“Why don’t we ask the DNC: Is it OK to kill a 7-pound baby in the uterus?” Paul responded. “You go back and go ask Debbie Wasserman Schultz if she’s OK with killing a 7-pound baby that’s just not born yet. Ask her when life begins, and ask Debbie when she’s willing to protect life. When you get an answer from Debbie, come back to me.”

The Democratic National Committee chairwoman fired back in a press release that made her position on the matter very clear:

Here’s an answer. I support letting women and their doctors make this decision without government getting involved. Period. End of story.

In an interview with Wolf Blitzer, Paul commented that “it sounds like her answer is yes, that she’s okay with killing a seven-pound baby.”

In 2012, under Wasserman Schultz’s direction, the Democratic National Convention drafted a party platform that supported the right to an abortion without any qualifications. In his interview with Blitzer, Paul noted that Wasserman Schultz’s position, assumedly the position of the Democrat Party, is that abortion up until the day of birth is fine — a position he believes “most pro-choice people would be really uncomfortable with.”

According to the most recent Gallup poll, only 28 percent of Americans believe that abortion should be legal under any circumstance, making Wasserman Schultz and the Democratic Party’s stance rather extreme on the political spectrum.

Many took to Twitter after Wasserman Schultz’s press release to express their disgust with her statement and point out the hypocrisy of her stance.
